Abstract

In an IoT environment, event correlation becomes more complex as events usually span over many interrelated sensors. This paper refines event correlations in an IoT environment, and proposes an algorithm to discover event correlations. We transform the event correlation discovery problem into a time-constrained frequent sequence mining problem. Moreover, we apply our approach in anomaly warning in a coal power plant. We have made extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of our approach.
